True, but Red Hat support their major releases for 10 years, so implying
that the O.P.'s release is obsolete is a bit extreme. We are not talking
about Fedora releases now.

I have CentOS 5.9. similar to RHEL5.9 that, as far as I know, is the
current release for RHEL5. I run RHEL 6 on my main machine.

The 5.9 has gnupg2-2.0.10-3.el5.1.i386 as its current release
and that requires the following libraries:

libksba-1.0.5-2.el5
pinentry-0.7.3-3.el5
pth-2.0.7-6.el5.

As Peter asks, "why do you want to install 1.2.1?"
